Further, Brockton Thorton became, from that day forth, ever the absolute center of Maria's very existence. And as the blessed day of her sixteenth birthday dawned, Maria's dreams of owning her heart's desire seemed to become a blissful reality. Yet a fiendish plotting intruded, and Maria's hopes of realized dreams were locked away within dark, impenetrable walls.
